Cut with compound then glaze. 3m no longer makes the stuff I used to use so I'm going to try Evercoat triple system on this car.
A lot of painters are using 1000 on a DA now to knock down orange peel and nibs...... Power tools are tempting but I have enough problems experimenting with new processes and products right now LOL.

I did paint correction professionally for 25+ years in case you question this method.
I cut a length of 6" and 10" Lowes large thick paint stir sticks(the truest/straightest one you can obtain) and prep it with a some light sanding to slightly round its edges and ends.
I use it when doing fresh re-spray initial knock down with whatever grit you deem to fit the texture. In your current case you mentioned 1000#. Just cut your paper to size and wrap the stick no differently than you would a soft hand pad. It will actually make the paint look slicker than just a soft pad at all final grits alone.I call this flat-sticking. It separates the man from the boys when the job is finished ,believe me.
